About Preferred Property Management, Inc.

Steve Hale, President, worked in the Workers' Compensation Insurance Industry and as a Commercial Insurance Broker for many years before starting his own General Contracting business, the Hale Construction Group. Following 9/11, the company's main focus and success was in high-end kitchen and bath remodeling, with additional repair work continually coming in from existing customers. Many of Hale Construction Group's clients were investors requiring a helping hand with their property management... hence Preferred Property Management was born.

We now manage numerous commercial, single-family and multi-family properties in Snohomish & King County. The last several years have been successful to the point that we now employ full-time office and maintenance staff. We are also training a leasing agent and move in coordinator to assist with tenant management. With all their expertise we have been able to grow in leaps and bounds beyond our dreams and expectations.

"We are a company of people, and it is because of these dedicated people you can feel confident that all of your real estate needs will be handled in a most trustworthy, professional and efficient manner." - Steve Hale, President
